Elvis Elvarki on animating himself into an animator | I Know Great People

Elvis joined me in I Know Great People in the same intentional way he has come into his creative self. Hearing about how Elvis took advantage of opportunities and sought out resources for his personal growth was reinforcing conversation for the 1 Million Thriving Artist goal of seeing 1 Million Thriving Artists on the African continent. Especially in contrast to the last conversation with Baraka, a veteran of the creative industry in Kenya, about how entering the various fields were 25 years ago.

Be like @elviselvarki in pursuing what you want to achieve and that can in no way hurt to eventually achieving your goals.
